Apologies if I¹m in the wrong place... I¹ve tried searching and none of the results I¹ve come up with are even close to my problem.
I am using the ftp task to pull down a list of files on an ftp server, my task looks like this: <ftp server=²foo² user=²foo² password=²foo² remotedir=²/base/dailybuild² action=²list² listing=²sqlList²> <fileset><include name="*/updates/*.sql"/></fileset> </ftp> It appears (though I have not verified through packet analysis) that it is first getting a folder listing for one of the */updates folders, then it is doing an individual file listing on each file in the list that matches *.sql. The result, since I have approximately 1300 files of type sql, is that the task is taking 5-10 minutes to complete. If I do the same operation using the basic ftp program on the machine, it takes 30 seconds with me manually typing the commands. Is there something I can do to tell it to just grab the file list without iterating through each file? Should I just inline a perl FTP call to do this? Thanks all! SCHOLASTIC Read Every Day.
